Discussed by Sara Tracey
with The What's UP Radio Program

Mark Lanier has a brand-new devotional book out: “Torah for Living: Daily Prayers, Wisdom, and Guidance.”

Listen as Sara Tracey shares today’s devotion from from from Leviticus 16:3-6

You wouldn’t wash your hands with muddy water. So why do you think it’s okay to wash your soul with muddy water? This is the analogy Mark uses in today’s devotion. Although we no longer sacrifice animals on an altar in order to “become clean”, there is still some symbolic sacrifice that must take place.
